Title says it all. I don't think it is a coincidence that Obama preaches about global warming the same day he is taking out OIL refineries.

Gas prices just dove under $3 here. War against a new phantom menace. Funny how that works out.

No, I’m not blaming it on the oil companies. But there are forces who do not want Americans to have access to cheap energy.

So now we are purposely increasing the price of oil.

This looks like an effort to jack up the prices of oil and gas.

These crazy-assed Jihadis crack me up.

A "mobile" refinery can produce, what, BEST CASE about 200 gallons a day?

I hope we're not chasing this stuff with Aegis targeting (really important $1.5bil asset) from a thousand miles and sending a $1mil Tomahawk after it.

Sadly, with our current "leadership" I fear that is the case.

There is going to be some serious b!tching going on in the EU third world countries as they are the ones that have been buying the “renegade black market oil” on the cheap.

Has the “law of unintended consequences” been unexpectedly invoked?

Some former Mobil employees used to refer to that symbol as the “Flying Jackass”...

I dunno, but be assured that when it is time, Haliburton will win the no-bid government contract to rebuild them! Liberals right now gotta be fuming mad with their Messiah.

Did the Rockefellers and Saudis pay him off for this one? No wonder the Democrats raise so much money.

Even the best of the best have their breaking point. I certainly wouldn’t feel safe walking past those two Americans knowing what Obama knows. Look at it, it’s a walk of shame for Obama every time. He knows, they know. But they still show their class. An inspiration.
